  • That screenshot is showing that the machine will only accept SNMP requests from the host 'localhost' using the community string public. That means the machine you are in will only accept SNMP requests from itself (or a host on the network named 'localhost'). For the purpose of getting it up and running the first time, I…

  • It really comes down to how you have everything configured. In my experiences, if nothing is monitoring the Solarwinds server itself then you will not receive a flood of alerts on monitored elements upon it rebooting. What I would theoretically want to get in that situation is an email notification from LEM informing me…

  • This is a decent solution to this problem, but still doesn't solve the problem. I'm currently plagued with solving at least 9 different CVE's that an internal scan found on our LEM boxes and wish I had another way to handle it other than this.

  • We ended up going a different route as Solarwinds technical support was saying they don't currently have a way to fire rules based on WMI events. I was going off of a white paper I had found somewhere that talked about 7 or 8 of the most common ways that organizations got beaten with a WMI-based attack and the…

  • I'm guessing that what you are looking for is in this article - SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: How to create a non-administrator user for SAM polling. If security is of a concern you might also consider using SNMP for all of your polling. Using SNMPv3 would remove the need for a domain admin account to poll your servers…

  • So it turns out that handy little Reports feature that Orion offers is exactly what I need and I've just never looked at it before. Boy oh boy do I feel dumb.

  • The community string must be defined on the device that you are trying to poll. Login to whatever the device is and check on the SNMP settings. My guess is that whatever the device is has SNMP turned off by default. Turn it on and use the default community string (normally public), or change it to something else and then…

  • I'm not sure of an official way, but you could go into your Alerts Manager on Orion and check all of the boxes and disable all alerts. Then, when you are finished, head back into the Alerts Manager and turn them all back on. It doesn't seem terribly efficient, but it would turn off all emails during a maintenance window.
